What is the name of your state? Texas
Hello, I'm new to this forum. I found this while searching for Texas laws. I work for a children's home in Texas and we have a situation. One of our girls (15yo) is in a relationship with a 19yo boy. She's a freshman and he's a senior. They see each other at school and church and that's about it. Lately she's revealed she is afraid of him, and he has made some stalking type behavior(i.e.-showing up at group outing far from the facility when not being invited, driving by constantly, telling her who she can and cannot associate with, coming to her home uninvited).He is an immigrant and I'm unsure of his legal status. My main concerns at this point are the age difference and the domestic violence-type behaviors.
I don't think the penal code related to sex acts applies, as she is under our supervision or the school's, and I don't think it's an issue. What legal means do we have to enforce them not having a relationship? We have temporarty possessory conservatorship and she is placed through JPO.
I don't neccessarily want to press charges, but I want some ammunition when I do confront him about our requirement for termination of the relationship.
Thanks for any input.
